I do not
pretend to understand slavery and all the ramifications. However, in light of
recent racial tensions in America, I wonder if those who were set free physically
remain a slave in their minds and if they have passed that victimization on to
future generations. In the early church believers obtained freedom in Christ,
but they had to consciously resist their previous life of being under the law.
Paul said, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then,
and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery” (Gal 5:1 NIV).
